Synology, a global leader in data management and security solutions, recently hosted a media presentation in Kuala Lumpur in anticipation of World Backup Day on March 31st. The event centered on addressing the evolving landscape of data management and security trends, particularly focusing on the Malaysian market.
Synology Malaysia, Country Manager, Jason Sin, highlighted the company’s impressive 50% market growth last year, driven by increasing demand from SMBs and enterprises. The surge in demand for Synology’s backup solutions, exceeding 20%, can be attributed to Malaysia’s emergence as a prominent data center hub in the region and government initiatives promoting IT security investment.
The event shed light on the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in adhering to stricter data governance requirements, such as those outlined in the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA).
Compliance challenges, including data breach notification protocols and the appointment of Data Protection Officers (DPOs), were discussed in depth.
Jason Sin emphasised the importance of staying ahead of trends in data management and security to ensure compliance and protect sensitive information. The event provided insights into the latest technologies and approaches to empower businesses in safeguarding their data effectively.
Addressing pressing cybersecurity concerns, including recent data breaches and ransomware attacks targeting Malaysian businesses, Synology showcased its exclusive backup solutions during a live session.
The demonstration highlighted practical approaches to prevention, centralized data protection, and streamlined data recovery processes, emphasising the importance of a comprehensive backup strategy in combating ransomware attacks.
